Professionals Network/Listserve

The Maryland Museums Association has gone "live" with
its Google Groups listserve! We are very excited about this new
tool to help Maryland museums personnel keep-in-touch and share their
knowledge and resources with one another.

Alternately, you may also join by sending an e-mail request to treasurer@mahm.org,
or by e-mailing any MAHM board member explicitly stating you would like
to join the Maryland Museums Association listserve. Please
indicate what school or museum you are affiliated with and in what
capacity.

Note: You
may use your pre-existing work/personal e-mail account to join this MMA Google Groups listserve (a Google Gmail account is NOT required).
Please note, however, that you will still have to sign-up/register your
non-Google e-mail with Google ahead of time to join the listserve. The
process is simple, and involves little more than registering your
current e-mail address with Google and picking a password at Google's
new account page.

Below are some general guidelines, rules or FAQs for using the listserve...

Be polite
and respectful at all times. Failure to abide by the following may
result in either a warning, or immediate removal from the group.

What may I use this for?This listserve is intended as a forum for collegial
discussion, questions and assistance among Maryland's community of professional
or volunteer museum docents, directors, curators, exhibitors, educators, students and teachers.

What should I not use it for?The listserve is not intended as a means of
publicizing the programs of individual sites, unless said program is a type of
workshop intended to advance the knowledge and quality of the Maryland museums
community generally, or to facilitate broader discussion about museums
work.Moreover, solicitors will not be
entertained, and any such users may be immediately removed or warned pending the
situation.

Do I have to be a MMA member to use the listserve?No.

programming and exhibiting state-wide. MMA offeres organization and individual memberships alike.
